Serendipitous Kettlebells

When: September 13, 2018 QIC: Pickles PAX: Billy, Disco Duck, Ezekiel, Sparky, WWW YHC asked Disco Duck at Tortoises on Wednesday about IR workout options for Thursday. Paraphrasing, his response was essentially “Freed to Lead, brother.” All righty then. Let’s see what sort of IR side dish can be cooked up to go along with Red Ryder’s BO beatdown. Note: you can read all about that part of the workout, including COT here. [Read More]

Burpee-cides and Bear Crawls 04Sep18

Descending from a Labor Day Weekend mountain-top experience of Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, and campfires was hard enough. But when the first two sentences spoken to me were “Sky Blue was worried you wouldn’t make it.” and “Can we use your Old Glory calf condoms as a shovel flag?”, I knew we needed to re-instill some semblance of order and discipline in Carpex (amiright, Nantan?). Standards have to be met and exceeded here people.
